Buds

This sudden revelation Image That stark forgotten white As I stand gazing Through an olive green scrim Beyond the damp and dusted mist This Seurat shower of pointillistic heads A sudden crowd A noisy crowd come to life With music of the spheres The dance along each bough Fancy to hear Distant Each small voice In riotous cheer Spring people

hi, daver, this one a bit hard for me to get. I think it's the fancy words in the 7th line down giving me all the confusion! But from the title, I've got to take it that your tree people are little buds come to life! Very fun to read. LUv, andrea

An imaginistic display of pure talent mantled in love ... a concise portrait of visionary hallelujah. Good write.

A wonderful reflection on the joy we feel when spring arrives, Daver! "Spring people" is a nice way of describing those who rejoice "In riotous cheer." I'm glad to see you are posting new poems again! Love, Carolyn
